ChelanP19:
When I talked to IM last April they claimed it takes only 35HP to plane... I
get the impression someone already tried it... 75HP should be good for WARP
SPEED...
Remember... In the intracoastal the wake should not exceed 15 inches...
Officer Friendly is on the side with a ruler measuring your wake...
I did see a rebuilt, lime yellow, Southcoast 21 with a 50HP on the back tied
up at a canal in the Intracoastal across from the Sand's Hotel... Officer
Friendly was writing a speeding in a no wake zone citation for the guy...
Won't be long now...
Just a matter of time...
I expect it...
